@Jennifer43noel If you made a mistake and said on your own return that you could be claimed as someone else's dependent that is why you did not get a stimulus check. If you fit the criteria to be someone's dependent then you cannot get a stimulus check even if they did not claim you on their tax return. Sadly, it is too late this year to fix it. But when you file your 2020 tax return next year in 2021, you can still get the stimulus money on that tax return if you have NOT been someone else's dependent in 2020. If you are confused by anything the software asks you when you are working on your 2020 return, ask questions here in the forum BEFORE you file your tax return. It is much easier to prevent mistakes than it is to fix them after you file an incorrect tax return.
